The Challenge

The challenge is really all about demonstrating that injuries, disabilities and chronic illnesses are no bar to sporting achievement. It will also demonstrate that despite being diagnosed with PTSD, you can still go out there and do amazing things and support those around you.

In all we will be cycling approx 1300 miles and climbing 63000ft which is the equivalent of more than twice the height of Mount Everest.

For myself, Brian and Brent this will be a tough ask, however our efforts will be as nothing compared to Lee.

Lee's condition Fibromyalgia means that he will be in constant pain throughout the challenge. Combine that pain and discomfort with the tremendous effort of powering his handbike twice up Everest, I hope you can begin to appreciate the sheer effort, guts and determination that will be needed for Lee to complete this challenge. However, Lee has his Band of Brothers with him, and we will be do whatever is needed to get him to complete this truly amazing challenge.

Our Route

We will be cycling from John o'Groats to Lands End but we won't be taking the classic route down the west coast, but a much longer route as we intend visiting all of the recovery centres run by Help for Heroes.
